To all whom it may concern:

Belit known that 1, JOHN A. DAvIsoN,

of 1056 Alberni Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, in the Dominion of Canada, a

subject of the King of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful Improve merits in Shoe-Polishing Cloths; and I do herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it 'appertains to make andusethe same. a I

1 My'invention relates to improvements in shoe polishing cloths. The object of my invention is to'provide a shoe polishing cloth in which each end" of the cloth is provided with means whereby the cloth may be gripped while rubbing and polishing the shoes, as is well understoodby those skilled in the art, and so constructed that the same can be rolled up and held within a cover so that the cloth can be carried tact with.

Another object of my invention isto provide a simple, cheap and effective cloth of this character which forms a compact package when rolled and having certain details of structure and combination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings Figurel is a perspective view of my improved shoe polishing cloth rolled within the cover.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the cloth in the uni'olled position showing the felt side of the cloth.

I Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of Figure 2.

Referring now to the drawings, l'represents a piece of cloth, which as is ,well understood by those skilled in the art, is provided onone face with a felt likefinish 2, which is for the purpose of causing a more perfect polish to the shoe. One end of the cloth 1 hasits ends turned over and stitched what I claim is: i

as indicated forming the'heni 4 into which the wooden sti'ipor a rod 5 is inserted to form a handle for gripping the polishing cloth. The opposite vend of the clotlris turned over .as indicated at 6, and stitched tothecovering 7 by the stitching 8. The

point of attachment of the end of the polish-,

ingflclothis mid-way. between the ends of the covering 7, whereby the portion 9 .of

the, covering may form a gripping surface for the hand when used for'p'olishing shoes.

This portion 9 is provided with a snap eye if 10, adapted to'snap over the flexiblebutton member 11, carried by the oppositeface of the end 12 of the cover.

By this structure it will be seen that l. have provided an improved polishing cloth in which the cloth can be readily rolled up and the cover wrapped around and heldin position by thesnapSlO and 1 1. The cloth lS- rolled upon the strip 5 so that a very neat compact package is obtained and in which the polish. stained cloth is wholly covered by the covering 7, and held in its* rolledcon-'- dition thereby.

Having thus fully described invention 1. polisher of the character described comprising an. elongated polishing" cloth,
